message block forcing right side blocks downward

Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2006 3:19 pm

I am having difficulty with the message block forcing the right hand blocks downward on the index page. I have looked at the code and I can't seem to find the offending miscoding. Any ideas on where I might find this piece of problematic coding. It could be I changed something in one of the files, but at this point I have transferred working files from another site and still have the same problem.

You can see what I mean at http://njptaid.biz/beta/index.php

Thanks!

First of all, verify that it is or is not a theme issue. Try DeepBlue or Sand_Journey and see if you have the same problem. If you do, then I have to suspect it's something that you may have done because I haven't noticed the issue in any of my testing. If it doesn't happen in the other themes then it's a theme issue.

I've tried the other themes. No joy there. Still not displaying correctly. Any ideas where the code might be that I might have changed? Otherwise I'll just start uploading fresh files. And BTW, congrats on the new Ravenette. Has she started coding yet?

Did you attempt to load the WYSIWYG editor? I noticed the submit news isn't working...

The editor is loaded and working fine. The submit news is inactive due to the nature of the website. It is just the formatting of the message block that is messed up. I probably in my tweaking of some things messed up a piece of code somewhere. I just ain't quite sure where.

Ok, Guys I found the problem or at least what starts it.

It happens when I import the stories database from the "live" site which is running nuke 6.8 to the beta site which is running Raven's 7.6 2.02 with the patches.

I ran a compare files on the two sql dumps of the two stories databases.

Here is the compare results below:

1a1
> --
29c30
< ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
---
> ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=125 ;
33,35c34,35
< --
<
< INSERT INTO `nuke_stories` VALUES (1, 0, 'Ken_Mailly', 'this is a test', '2006-02-18 15:15:05', 'This is a test     ', 'This is a test', 0, 0, 2, 'Ken_Mailly', '', 0, 'english', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, '');

Any ideas?

Did you upgrade your stories table from 6.8 to 7.6 before importing? You need to do that.

Ok, that is what I thought the problem was. I was trying to import everything to the beta site before I did the upgrade to the old database.

I was trying to find a way to selectively upgrade the tables that I wanted to import.

Thanks for the assist.
